Private Emotions

I recently found a touching poem and I really think that it reflects on how I have been feeling these last couple of weeks.

Private Emotions

There's a clear and obvious reason why I never disclose my feelings to you.

You don't seem to understand the motives behind my eyes.

Is it just me or...when I tell you these personal things..

you hide behind a smile and caring whisper to carry on while I cry?

Perhaps I'm just stupid, while I quiver on your shoulder and wipe away any evidence of pain.

Perhaps you were never really there in the first place, plastic hugs and metallic grin.


Yes, the majority of words I caress are about sadness, just because it sinks the most.

Happiness is a rare occasion, start off small, end and then start to begin.

I'm so sorry that it turned out this way, that these private emotions don't show anymore.

I'm sorry that you walked away when I needed you the most.

But now listen closely and watch as I burn into your paper heart,

I sit at the table of Reincarnation, pull up a chair for you and begin another toast.
